Al Gore has won the Prince of Asturias 2007 Prize for International Cooperation. The link is in Spanish but here are some roughly translated highlights:

The jury emphasized the "decisive" contribution of Gore "for progress in the solution of the serious problems of the climatic change" that threaten the planet.

The text, from the president of the jury, Leopoldo Calvo Sotelo, stressed that these problems "make the international cooperation for their solution strictly necessary" and emphasized "the great merits" of Al Gore, "a public man who, with his leadership, has contributed to sensitize societies and governments worldwide in defense of this noble and transcendental cause".
